Tough luck. If I changed it for the city dialog I would have to change it
for a myriad of other dialogs which only feature the info in the titlebar
as well. I will not add redundant information to dialogs. If that is what
you want, use the XAW client.
What you want is completely against the spirit of the GTK+ 2.0 HIG.

People, we are past the late 70's here. Windows have titlebars.
